FROM THE KILN: An Examination of Desire

	clay of desire
	fire of lust

	mud of contagion
	burning fine dust

	heat of passion
	power of flame

	shaping dull objects
	transforming their grain

	out with all water
	bake til red

	search for cracks
	cool slowly

	find beauty
	add liquid:

	ceramic heart
	empty head
